Easter 2009

Last weekend was Easter plus spring break for my 2 oldest boys. It's hard because most of time it was too cold to play outside, or too rainy. They got to see plenty of movies together and even play video games too. We went and visit with Heather & Ron & their baby Ashton. They hid the eggs out back and the boys went on an egg hunt. It was fun. We even got our own new clothes (a tradition I brought on from growing up with my family - I had hard time finding skirt, until the last day 'before Sunday' found one!). The boys are growing so fast! Especially Nick, not yet 11 years old! Parker has been playing baseball, but with the Easter weekend and rainy weather, no games so far. The boys are handful of course! I just got hit with bad case of hay fever (obvious sign of spring coming after odd winter weather).

We had a blast last weekend, with lots of yummy candy (alot of sugar rush!!), eating dinner with my parents, single sisters and 2 cousins. Really simple and enjoyable. Even I got to play 'I can do That' Cat in the Hat game with Kellie & cousin Stephanie, we were laughing our heads off! Even the night before (Saturday night), we still kept the tradition to coloring the eggs. Lucas had a blast doing that, even after he 'colored' his egg, he threw one in a colored cup that sent splashed all over the newspapers, whew! Few of us even had our own 'dyed' fingers! Hope you guys would have a blast weekend & month!

Nick's Audition

Howdy y'all! Boy! It's still snowing here, no joke! I know today is 'April Fool's Day', but seems 'up there' is playing joke on us, maybe we need to laugh it off, don't y'all think so?

Last night, Nick went and auditioned for the 'Seussical' perfomance at the Midvale Arts Council. He did an awesome audition, bringing his own sense of humor. I have been laughing so hard, (not during the audition, but out in the car, I laughed my butt off because Nick surprised me ya know!) He did an awesome job and we are proud of him. Parker will soon start playing baseball next week. He is so looking forward to it and he begged that the snow will stop now so we can 'practice' playing/throwing baseball. Such a cutie. Lucas is a handful. Yesterday Parker went and had his hair cut by Karen Rama at the SLCC, she is so good at this and did an awesome job. Lucas and I were waiting, then when Parker was done, I was about getting ready to go until Lucas 'screamed' his head off and say hey I wanna go on that chair, I asked him if he wanna have a haircut. He said yep with his frown face. I was so surprised and thought a trim will make him look good. It does! Karen, thanks so much!

Pretty soon Easter will come around the corner. The tradition still runs in our family that I brought over from my own family, buying new 'dresses' for Easter, this time, new shirt/pant & tie or vest for boys. So I am so excited!

And I am also so excited that this coming summer, we will have an awesome Reunion for the USD Alumni Reunion! The committee works so hard on this to make it eventful!!
